Short summary, you will expect a runway from the ATIS and from the approach controller on first contact. ATC will typically vector you from the end of the SID to the ILS and will clear your approach "cleared ILS 27L approach, report established". When you capture and are stable on the localiser, you report established and you will hear something like "continue the approach, speed 180 kts, descend with the glideslope" later followed by "4 DME, contact the tower on 121.8". Tower will clear you to land. | |

This includes the required details including not just frequency and course, but weather minima and the missed approach procedure. In an emergency, of course, he can always ask the tower for the relevant numbers. | |
