Narrative:

Ord based check airman (check captain) IOE with student first officer on first leg of first IOE sequence. Landing at ewr airport. Ewr ATIS reported ILS runway 22L approachs were being conducted at ewr airport. I briefed the ILS runway 22L approach. Ny approach actually assigned us the VOR DME runway 22L approach. I misheard the clearance to read 'cleared VOR runway 22R.' ny approach gave us a short vector to intercept the inbound course 2 mi inside the teterboro VOR, 8 mi from the runway. Due to the high workload, intercepting the inbound course 8 mi from the runway with marginal visibility, descending down to a step down altitude, configuring the aircraft for landing and switching to tower close in, the runway assignment misunderstanding was not detected by either me or the first officer and we landed on runway 22R instead of the assigned runway 22L. We heard no calls from ewr tower advising us that we were not landing on the assigned runway.

Title: RWY INCURSION AFTER A WRONG RWY APCH AND LNDG BY MD80 FLC AT EWR, NJ.

Narrative: ORD BASED CHK AIRMAN (CHK CAPT) IOE WITH STUDENT FO ON FIRST LEG OF FIRST IOE SEQUENCE. LNDG AT EWR ARPT. EWR ATIS RPTED ILS RWY 22L APCHS WERE BEING CONDUCTED AT EWR ARPT. I BRIEFED THE ILS RWY 22L APCH. NY APCH ACTUALLY ASSIGNED US THE VOR DME RWY 22L APCH. I MISHEARD THE CLRNC TO READ 'CLRED VOR RWY 22R.' NY APCH GAVE US A SHORT VECTOR TO INTERCEPT THE INBOUND COURSE 2 MI INSIDE THE TETERBORO VOR, 8 MI FROM THE RWY. DUE TO THE HIGH WORKLOAD, INTERCEPTING THE INBOUND COURSE 8 MI FROM THE RWY WITH MARGINAL VISIBILITY, DSNDING DOWN TO A STEP DOWN ALT, CONFIGURING THE ACFT FOR LNDG AND SWITCHING TO TWR CLOSE IN, THE RWY ASSIGNMENT MISUNDERSTANDING WAS NOT DETECTED BY EITHER ME OR THE FO AND WE LANDED ON RWY 22R INSTEAD OF THE ASSIGNED RWY 22L. WE HEARD NO CALLS FROM EWR TWR ADVISING US THAT WE WERE NOT LNDG ON THE ASSIGNED RWY.
