If not doing full ILS approach "looking at the dots" is a normal procedure. I'm sure this procedure has several names but outhere we just call it "looking at the dots or monitoring the dots" wich just is monitoring the instruments, overhere we call it the dots because the glideslope on the instrument pannel is an arrow and dots, trick is to keep the arrow in the middle. While doing that the pilot not flying monitors the airspeed and other instruments and gives the calls as needed to the pilot flying. When during that an aircraft taxi into the RWY, wich doesn't take long it can be nobody sees it, it happened before... Both pilots are looking at instruments untill a certain point where they look out the windshield.

It's an international rule that pilots must know english, atleast to the point they can understand and answer control.
