Narrative:

I entered the traffic pattern for runway 22, made a radio call with a request for touch-and-go on runway 22. In front of me was an aircraft. The controller told me to follow this aircraft. I picked the aircraft up and followed this aircraft. The aircraft flew very low and made a wide right turn. My full concentration was now on the landing and instruction to the student. I understood a clearance for touch-and-go. Looking for the traffic. I noticed traffic going runway 27. I flew a touch-and-go to the numbers of runway 27. After the start, the controller said 'you have to land on taxiway runway 22, proceed to ramp.' apparently, the language difference and communication confusions may have contributed to use of incorrect runway. Increased coordination between tower controller and pilot may be necessary and less intimidation by the controller.

Title: AN R22 INSTRUCTOR AND STUDENT MADE A TOUCH-AND-GO TO THE WRONG RWY AT CDW.

Narrative: I ENTERED THE TFC PATTERN FOR RWY 22, MADE A RADIO CALL WITH A REQUEST FOR TOUCH-AND-GO ON RWY 22. IN FRONT OF ME WAS AN ACFT. THE CTLR TOLD ME TO FOLLOW THIS ACFT. I PICKED THE ACFT UP AND FOLLOWED THIS ACFT. THE ACFT FLEW VERY LOW AND MADE A WIDE R TURN. MY FULL CONCENTRATION WAS NOW ON THE LNDG AND INSTRUCTION TO THE STUDENT. I UNDERSTOOD A CLRNC FOR TOUCH-AND-GO. LOOKING FOR THE TFC. I NOTICED TFC GOING RWY 27. I FLEW A TOUCH-AND-GO TO THE NUMBERS OF RWY 27. AFTER THE START, THE CTLR SAID 'YOU HAVE TO LAND ON TXWY RWY 22, PROCEED TO RAMP.' APPARENTLY, THE LANGUAGE DIFFERENCE AND COM CONFUSIONS MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO USE OF INCORRECT RWY. INCREASED COORD BTWN TWR CTLR AND PLT MAY BE NECESSARY AND LESS INTIMIDATION BY THE CTLR.
