Narrative:

Aircraft #1 was climbing out after takeoff; was having difficulties communicating with tower. Instructor was troubleshooting while private pilot rated student flew. Student turned left traffic instead of right traffic. After 45 degree heading change to left; instructor rolled wings level and said we were flying wrong traffic. Tried to clarify with tower about direction; but still had communications error. Aircraft #2 observed by instructor on head on collision course. Instructor rolled aircraft into 60 degree turn to evade aircraft #2. After near midair collision; aircraft re-entered right traffic and landed normally. Aircraft #2 also landed uneventfully. Aircraft #1's instructor should have supervised student more closely while handling the communications mishap.
