  We investigate three different axial-vector form factors of the nucleon,
$G_A^{0}$, $G_A^3$, $G_A^8$, within the framework of the SU(3) chiral
quark-soliton model, emphasizing their strangeness content. We take into
account the rotational $1/N_c$ and linear strange quark ($m_s$) contributions
using the symmetry-conserving SU(3) quantization and assuming isospin symmetry.
The strange axial-vector form factor is also obtained and they all are
discussed in the context of the parity-violating scattering of polarized
electrons off the nucleon and its relevance to the strange vector form factors.
