Narrative:

Low visibility approach, brand new first officer and a fairly new captain under 200 hours in type. Flying with a brand new first officer (right out of IOE) I was trying to stay on top of the game. With the WX being bad, we were using the ILS to runway 1R. Checklists were going a little slower than usual and my mind was concentrating on getting the airplane set for landing and watching the new first officer. Once we landed, I looked up at the radios and noticed that we were still on approach frequency. I immediately contacted the control tower and told them we had landed without clearance. As we taxied in, I confirmed with my first officer that approach control had not switched us over. I could not remember being told to contact the tower. The first officer said that she did not hear a frequency change either. As we were told to contact ramp frequency, I asked the tower if I needed to contact them. They said no.

Narrative: LOW VISIBILITY APCH, BRAND NEW FO AND A FAIRLY NEW CAPT UNDER 200 HRS IN TYPE. FLYING WITH A BRAND NEW FO (RIGHT OUT OF IOE) I WAS TRYING TO STAY ON TOP OF THE GAME. WITH THE WX BEING BAD, WE WERE USING THE ILS TO RWY 1R. CHKLISTS WERE GOING A LITTLE SLOWER THAN USUAL AND MY MIND WAS CONCENTRATING ON GETTING THE AIRPLANE SET FOR LNDG AND WATCHING THE NEW FO. ONCE WE LANDED, I LOOKED UP AT THE RADIOS AND NOTICED THAT WE WERE STILL ON APCH FREQ. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE CTL TWR AND TOLD THEM WE HAD LANDED WITHOUT CLRNC. AS WE TAXIED IN, I CONFIRMED WITH MY FO THAT APCH CTL HAD NOT SWITCHED US OVER. I COULD NOT REMEMBER BEING TOLD TO CONTACT THE TWR. THE FO SAID THAT SHE DID NOT HEAR A FREQ CHANGE EITHER. AS WE WERE TOLD TO CONTACT RAMP FREQ, I ASKED THE TWR IF I NEEDED TO CONTACT THEM. THEY SAID NO.
