FO hand flying ILS in clouds; we were cleared for the approach and told to contact Tower. I dialed the Tower frequency; but got distracted by correcting the flying of the FO and forgot to switch the frequency. We landed without a landing clearance and then realized we were not on the Tower frequency on vacating the runway. We contacted the Tower and apologized; and we were told to taxi to our gate. No further comments from the Tower Controller who was also handling Ground Control.
Because of COVID-19 I haven't flown at all. This was my second day on my rotation. On our second leg we were coming back to ZZZ from ZZZ1. I was the flying pilot; it was cloudy and there was a lot of turbulence. I was mainly focusing on staying at the glide slope and maintain safe airspeed. Captain was running the checklists and communicating with ATC. When we're almost 5 NM out ATC cleared us for ILS XX approach. I was so focused on flying the plane and I couldn't catch that Captain didn't switch to Tower frequency. He was doing suggestions and giving me instructions and he forgot to talk to the Tower frequency. When we passed the Final Approach Fix my main focus was on landing the airplane safely and smoothly. Which I did even though it was super windy and bumpy. After landing safely and slowed down the aircraft to a safe airspeed I gave the controls to Captain.We safely cleared the active runway and I tried to talked to the Tower since they didn't give us any taxi instructions or frequency change and that's when we realized Captain never switched to Tower frequency. As soon as I realized what happened I contacted Tower; I apologized and wrote down the taxi instructions. We went to the main gate and parked the plane. After that me and Captain talked about what happened and we talked about what we did wrong and we talked about how we will make sure that won't happen again. We were both agreed on that communication is really important and from this point on we will double check everything and always try to improve our communication skills. It's also proved [to] us that non-flying pilot's role is really important as well.
