Narrative:
Location: abeam dfw 5 mi west. Aircraft heading 050 degrees, 3000 ft. Aircraft on autoplt. Controller gave heading change to 010 degrees. I responded 010 degrees and continued with cockpit setup checklist. First officer misunderstood heading change and turned to 110 degrees. Controller quizzed us about our heading. After I realized the mistake, I informed controller that we would turn to 010 degrees now. Controller then asked us to make a right turn to 010 degrees for traffic. First officer misunderstood heading request and I failed to properly supervise aircraft and first officer. This is a busy time between afw and dfw.

Narrative: LOCATION: ABEAM DFW 5 MI W. ACFT HDG 050 DEGS, 3000 FT. ACFT ON AUTOPLT. CTLR GAVE HDG CHANGE TO 010 DEGS. I RESPONDED 010 DEGS AND CONTINUED WITH COCKPIT SETUP CHKLIST. FO MISUNDERSTOOD HEADING CHANGE AND TURNED TO 110 DEGS. CTLR QUIZZED US ABOUT OUR HEADING. AFTER I REALIZED THE MISTAKE, I INFORMED CTLR THAT WE WOULD TURN TO 010 DEGS NOW. CTLR THEN ASKED US TO MAKE A R TURN TO 010 DEGS FOR TFC. FO MISUNDERSTOOD HEADING REQUEST AND I FAILED TO PROPERLY SUPERVISE ACFT AND FO. THIS IS A BUSY TIME BTWN AFW AND DFW.
