Narrative:

On this day my student and I were working on takeoffs and landing. We were in the traffic pattern for about 30 minutes when one plane started taxiing to the run-up area; a cirrus (SR22). Another airplane was taxiing from the east ramp to the hold-short line of runway xx; it was an experimental airplane. There was one airplane that took off when we were turning left downwind to left base runway xx; it was a low wing aircraft. When we turned final for runway xx the cirrus was doing the run-up; the experimental was holding short of runway xx; and the other aircraft that departed runway xx was not insight. We were approaching runway xx and everything seems to be okay. We were on short final and my student started his flare; about 5-10 feet from the runway we realized there was another aircraft coming from the opposite direction of the runway. At that point we were already touching down so I took the controls as fast as I could and just moved the airplane to the right because I saw the other airplane moving to the left. Once we passed each other I said on the CTAF: 'what was that about?' no response for about 30-40 seconds and then a guy said: 'sorry; we got an engine failure'. I wasn't very sure what happened because the aircraft was taxiing like a normal airplane and the engine was running. There was no injuries or damage to any of the airplanes. I told my student that it was enough practice for today so we taxied to the ramp and parked the airplane. We talked to the FBO line guys about what happened and one them said that one of the guys in the airplane said they had an engine failure so I asked: 'how is that possible if they were taxiing with the engine running' but the line guy didn't know the answer. No further action was taken.

Title: C162 instructor and PA28 pilot reported both aircraft landed on the runway in opposite directions at the same time. The aircraft both veered to the side to avoid a collision. The PA28 pilot reported the engine failed and he used the wrong CTAF frequency.
